Disadvantages of the Honda D13B engine
- This engine is famous for its reliability and unpretentiousness in operation;
- Do not disassemble the motor without a torque wrench, the thread breaks very easily;
- Throttle and idle valve contamination are the main causes of floating rpm;
- The timing belt is designed for about 100,000 km, if you miss a replacement, the valves will bend;
- On a run of over 150,000 km, rings often already lie down and oil consumption begins.
